On 15 April, Li Zhi stood in the ward of the Jinan "medical team" and looked at the wounded on the hospital bed with a solemn expression. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the 10th day of April, when Li Zhi encountered the Assassins outside the city, the guards cleared the wall to protect his safety, only to have two guards hit by the Assassins' arquebuses. One of them was wounded in the thigh and was afraid that he would be lame in the future, and the other was hit in the lower abdomen and was seriously injured.

Although Li Zhi's accompanying doctor operated on the injured guard on the spot and removed the lead bullet. But there were no antibiotics these years, and the wound of the guard who was shot in the abdomen was suppurated, and the high fever did not go away, and it seemed that he could not live.

This guard who was shot in the abdomen was called Chai Weifeng, and when Li Zhi came to see him, he woke up. When he saw Li Zhi, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he struggled to move his body.

However, he was in a coma for a few days, where did he still have the strength to get up?

Li Zhi hurriedly pressed him on the bed and said, "Don't move, it will hurt if you pull the wound." ”

Chai Weifeng lay on the bed and looked at Li Zhi, and when he saw the other guards behind Li Zhi, that is, his robes, he nodded slightly.

With this nod, it seemed to exhaust his strength.

Li Zhi shook Chai Weifeng's hand and said word by word: "Chai Weifeng!" You won't be saved, but you won't die in vain. The Tiger Master will award you the Heroic Medal, and your son will be a hero of Fanjiazhuang in the future. Your wife and son will receive a one-time pension of fifty taels, and a pension of twenty-five cents a month thereafter. ”

Chai Weifeng looked at Li Zhi, and two tears flowed down. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but Li Zhi couldn't hear clearly.

Li Zhi put his ear to Chai Weifeng's mouth, and heard him say in a faint voice: "Grandpa Guo... Grandpa Guo, you are dedicated to saving the country and the people... It's all about doing good things for the people... Died blocking bullets for the grandfather of the country... Chai Weifeng has no regrets..."

When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes immediately moistened. He shook Chai Weifeng's hand heavily, but saw Chai Weifeng's eyes gradually close. Li Zhi was stunned in his heart, and used his hand to probe Chai Weifeng's snort, only to find that he was dead.

What he said to Li Zhi turned out to be Chai Weifeng's last words.

Li Zhi's heart sank, and he slowly stood up and bowed to Chai Weifeng.

When the other guards saw this, they all burst into tears. They are Chai Weifeng's comrades-in-arms, and they get along with Chai Weifeng day and night on weekdays, and they are even more uncomfortable with Chai Weifeng's death. They followed Li Zhi and bowed to Chai Weifeng, and one by one burst into tears.

The company commander of the personal guard team walked up and said loudly: "Grandpa Guo, Chai Weifeng admires Grandpa Guo the most on weekdays, saying that as long as Grandpa Guo is here, the people of Daming will not suffer." Blocked the bullet for the grandfather of the country and died, and Chai Weifeng died well! ”

Li Zhi patted the company commander on the shoulder and slowly walked out of the ward.

Li Zhi walked out of the courtyard of the medical team, and the guards lined up on the road to surround Li Zhi in the middle, as if someone would shoot at Li Zhi from behind the buildings at any time.

Walking back to his courtyard, Li Zhi sighed: "The soldiers under the command of this prince are all heroes, I can't imagine that they will die in vain like this." If the Tartars come to kill, it's fine..."Taking a breath, Li Zhi asked Zheng Kaicheng, "There is no news from the Son of Heaven yet?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng bowed and replied: "The Son of Heaven has sent Dongchang to inspect in the Beijing camp, saying that he will find out all the ways that Lu Mi Gong has missed over the years. I think it's going to take a month. ”

Li Zhi asked coldly: "Can the East Factory find out?" ”

Zheng Kaicheng was stunned, looking at Li Zhi without speaking.

Li Laosi replied: "With the level of the East Factory, it would be good if he could find out five of the ten Lu Mi guns that leaked out." Since the assassin made the assassin commit suicide by poisoning, he was naturally confident that the three Lu Mi guns would not be able to find out the source! I'm afraid that they didn't get Lu Mi Gong through ordinary channels, and Dongchang is afraid that they won't be able to find out. ”

Li Zhi took a breath and said coldly: "Let's check it ourselves!" Call Han Jinxin! ”

After a while, Han Jinxin trotted in from outside the door and saluted Li Zhi.

"Did you find something?"

Han Jinxin stood up straight and said, "Grandpa Guo, we have studied those three Lu Mi guns. Although the makers used the traditional Kyoto technique, I have carefully studied and found that these three guns were not stolen from the Kyoto camp, but were made by craftsmen outside the Kyoto camp. ”

"Oh?"

"There's something wrong with the numbering on those three guns. The gun is a new gun, but the numbering method is engraved according to the old-fashioned numbering method of Jingying six years ago, and it is also written as 'Tianzi number'. Now in the past six years, the Lu Mi guns in Beijing are all 'official brands'. It can be seen that the caster is a craftsman who escaped from the Beijing camp six years ago, and he does not know that the numbering method of the Lu Mi gun in the Beijing camp has changed. ”

Zheng Kaicheng seemed to be very worried about the suspicion between Li Zhi and the Son of Heaven, and when he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, in this way, the suspicion of Zhong Feng today is simply untenable!" ”

Li Zhi ignored Zheng Kaicheng, but asked Han Jinxin: "Did you find anything else?" ”

Han Jinxin lowered his head and said, "Only this was discovered, and no other clues were found." ”

Li Zhi sighed, walked back and forth in the corridor, and said in a low voice: "Who would hate Bengong so much, and have the ability to organize people to build Lu Mi Gong?" ”

"Han Jinxin, how many landlords in Shandong have more than 10,000 acres of land because of their contributions?"

"There are more than a hundred!"

"There are so many?"

Li Laosi said: "The owner, in my opinion, the most suspicious is the governor of Shandong, the six prefects, and the three vassal kings of Shandong. These ten people are not only rich, but also powerful, and have enough connections to get the resources to build Lu Mi Gong. Some folk landlords, even if they accidentally take in craftsmen to build Lu Mi Gong, do not have the ability to make the assassin commit suicide by poisoning. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "What Li Laosi said makes sense, we have to monitor these ten most suspicious people to see if they have secretly built Lu Mi Gong somewhere." ”

Han Jinxin bowed and said, "Grandpa Guo, our level of secret guards is also limited. If you come to the door to spy on these ten people, you will definitely be noticed by their people. Once the mastermind of the assassination of Grandpa Guo finds out that we are watching him, he will definitely stop hiberning for a while. In this way, I am afraid that our surveillance can only serve as a warning. ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "That's a general surveillance method. Sending ordinary personnel to follow the sentry will of course startle the snake. My father has equipped you with a new type of telescope, so that you can see clearly the appearance of the people who are coming in and out of these ten families from a few miles away, and see what their people are doing outside the city, but these ten people do not know that you are looking at him. ”

Han Jin Xinxi said: "There is such a powerful telescope? ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "I'll make it in a few days, and you'll know!" ”
